Replying to: luvthesuninca (Jul 05, 2009 2:19 pm) Hi lovthesunica: I test drove the Prius (the old and new models) , if you get the fully loaded Prius, it has a lot nice features (self park, pre collision control, park assist...) however, the comfort is DAY AND NIGHT compared to the Lexus (as expected) and the material inside the Prius looks cheap. that is why I said in the last note, it is like apple and orange.. the question is do you want confort or saving. the price is apprx 10k difference (fully loaded Prius & partially loaded RX) and the gas saving is apprx 1k per year, assuming 15k per year and gas is apprx $3.50/gallon. Pls let me know what you decided

Replying to: atlantabenny (Jul 05, 2009 5:51 am) I'm thinking those of you that are not sure about giving up your luxury brand for a Prius may not be ready. In 2007 I traded my Infinity FX45 for a Camry Hybrid. It was a tough decision. However my motivation was to save gasoline. It was not a "green" issue for me, it simply had to do with me personally not using any more foreign oil than I need to. I needed to walk my talk. This country needs to change and it really has to do it one person at a time. Will I make a dent? Probably not, but I may convince a few others, who will in turn convince a few others, who .....   I've loved cars as long as I can remember and the Camry was a far cry from what I was used to driving. Once I made the decision though I have not looked back. I've traded the Camry for a Highlander Hybrid (needed more space for the Grandkids and have a Prius V ordered (should get this week) for daily driving. I did find in the Camry with the Energy Screens on the NAV that each drive was a challenge in driving for maximum FE. I actually enjoyed playing with that as much as I liked rolling down the windows and listening to the FX wind out.   Your friends will think you've totally lost it. You have to know its the right thing to do or you may never be satisfied. Even then you will question yourself from time to time. The comfort and sportiness will not be there. I'm going to the Prius V in order to capture what sportiness there can be in driving a Prius. It will satisfy me, I am sure.   You may falter. As I decided on getting the Prius, I was tempted by the great deals on the CTS. Fortunately I could not work well with the local dealer so I went back to the Prius. It's was the right thing to do (for me).

I thought this was a forum dedicated to prices paid and buying experience. Why are there discussions about comparing Lexus to Prius, amenities in cars etc? Shouldn't they be elsewhere instead of forcing readers to sift through off topic posts to find out where to buy or not buy a Prius? Replies to this message: wvgasguy (Jul 06, 2009 11:16 am)
#92 of 261 Pricing change? by felt Jul 06, 2009 (6:40 am)
I have "ordered" a white, Prius IV w/ navagation. I have been lead to believe a IV matching that description is on my dealers allocation list. Today I checked the toyota.com official site, and it appears that navagation is now linked with the solar roof ...at a big increase in price. Is that a change in policy, or just the way my computer is displaying the web site?

#94 of 261 Blizzard/Dark Grey, Pkg II, Bluetooth, Lease $308/mo, $1284, 48 mos by paulsha911 Jul 06, 2009 (1:51 pm)
Just negotiated a 48 months lease with a dealer in San Francisco. Blizzard Pearl with Dark Grey, Pkg II, no option other than the Blu-Logic thing. $308/mo with $1284 out-of-pocket which includes first month payment, deposit.   Is that a decent deal?   Paul Replies to this message: wvgasguy (Jul 06, 2009 1:55 pm) paulsha911 (Jul 06, 2009 5:57 pm) wvgasguy (Jul 07, 2009 3:24 am)

Replying to: wvgasguy (Jul 06, 2009 1:55 pm) I don't know what the residual is. The purchase price is $23,269. With no capital paydown.   It's through Toyota Financing. The lease payment is significantly cheaper than the best quotes from leasecompare.com   The same deal on leasecompare.com has monthly payment of $360 and money factor of 0.00301.

Replying to: paulsha911 (Jul 06, 2009 5:57 pm) Well if you truly want to know if this is a good lease and you have any desire at all to possibly purchase the car at the end then you need to know the residual. How much of the MSRP are you really paying off in the lease. The interest rate on the leasecompare lease is around 8%. That's not good unless you don't have a good credit score. Four years is a long time to lease a car. If you were to purchase at 5% for 72 months and finance $23,000 your payment (not including taxes) is $370/mo and after 48 payments you'd owe less than $8500. You need to compare that to the residual from the Toyota lease

Replying to: KarenS (Apr 22, 2009 7:03 am) I sold my 2007 Honda Ridgeline RTL that was fully loaded on Friday 6-26-09 to a Doctor in VA Beach, on Saturday 6-27-09 I placed a $5K deposit for a 2010 Prius IV in Silver with a solar moonroof package, it probably would be safe to say as of 7-6-09 the dealership hasn't placed my order.They informed me on Monday that they will have (3)Prius III in Gray arriving sometime this month. I will not settle for a Prius III since that is not what I ordered, I will inform the salesman to change my order to a Prius V with the ADV TECH package instead. I would like to say for the record after my purchase is 100% complete to my order specification's I will be rating RK Toyota on Edmunds, may be the first person yet to rate their experience with this particular dealership; However so far the salesperson did get me into a loaner car until my order comes in which I thought was very professional of him...
